Should be the same height as the patients shoulders. It is recommended to wipe alginate on occlusal surfaces before seating tray to help prevent occurrence of trapping bubbles in impression.įor taking lower impressions the operator’s position should be at 8 to 9 o’clock, your elbow.Set time is three minutes from start of mix.Collect alginate from sides of bowl with spatula and place the impression material evenly in the tray.At this point, the mix should be a smooth, creamy consistency that does not fall off spatula.
ALGINATE IMPRESSION TRAYS FULL
Two scoops are generally used for full arch impressions.Fill scoop with powder, tap side with spatula then level off do not pack powder to tightly in scoop you will have to much powder to water ratio for mix.The number of recommended scoops depends on the procedure and size of the tray.This method is how we learned is school However it is not very practical when setting up for procedures ahead of time. Pour measured amount of water into a clean mixing bowl and then add powder. Fluff or aerate the Jeltrate powder before dispensing.Start by selecting a tray size that is slightly larger than arch.
Once we have a model poured in stone we can use them to make whitening trays, appliances, mouthguards and more. When ready to create the final study models, the operator will fill the set alginate impression material with a stone mixture.Īlginate impressions are taken for the fabrication of study models. Once the alginate impression material has set, it becomes solid. Cold water prolongs the setting time of alginate, while warm water shortens the set time considerably. The alginate impression material sets after 30 to 60 seconds in the patient’s mouth. The dental impression tray is filled with the viscous alginate impression material and placed over the teeth, one arch at a time. When mixed with water, a thick pasty material, similar to cake frosting, appears. a ‘negative’ mould) of those teeth and gums, which can then be used to make a cast or ‘positive’ model of the patient’s dentition.Īlginate impression material begins as a powder. The alginate dental impression forms an imprint (i.e. An alginate impression is used in dentistry to make an exact replica of the patient’s teeth, gingiva, and surrounding tissues in the mouth.
